About this tool
Visa, immigration and ID upload pages often cap files at 200 KB. Documents with small print need more detail than a portrait, so quality matters more here.
The tool keeps the quality as high as the limit allows and reduces the pixel size only when it must. Text on scanned documents usually stays readable at 200 KB if the scan was about 1500 pixels wide or less to begin with.
Always zoom in on the result and check that names and numbers are legible before you submit. For multi-page documents, compress each page and then combine them with the JPG to PDF tool. Files are processed on your device and never uploaded.
Questions
Will text in my scan stay readable?
Normally yes at 200 KB. Zoom in on the result to check the small print before you upload.
Can I turn the scan into a PDF afterwards?
Yes. Use the JPG to PDF tool to put the compressed pages into one PDF.
What is the difference between this and the image compressor?
The image compressor uses a quality you choose. This tool starts from a size limit and finds the quality for you.
Is it safe for identity documents?
The files stay on your device because the work is done in your browser.
